Members riffy Posted July 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2006 Originally posted by psychodave Hey, we cant forget the brave MEN and WOMEN fighting right now over in Iraq and the middle-east. They are do'ers and deserve our respect and gratitude. Like your grandfather, they are fighting for the best country in the world! Without them, the valor your grandfather gave us in WWII may be forgotten. You are more than correct! Those men and women over there deserve and should DEMAND the respect of all Americans... Evenif you are against the reason why we are involved, our fighting men and women deserve our respect, thanks and gratitude for all the sacrifices that they and their families are making on our behalf's.Truer words than you said were never spoken!Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one bit of my dad rubs off on my son, he will be a far better man than I could ever hope to be... Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fab Amp Posted July 17, 2006 Members Share Posted July 17, 2006 Cool thread and thanks for sharing Riffy. Kudos to your dad, that punk had it coming. Sad that it happens so much today. Up here there is a big trend towards crime against the elderly. I really think it's sick. Wish the world could clone off your dad and others like him to straiten out all the mess we are in. Not that our young military men are not worthy of respect, but they could sure use a few extra good leaders, I feel. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Simon Garlick Posted July 17, 2006 Members Share Posted July 17, 2006 Originally posted by riffy My father turns 82 years of age next month. He was a Special Police in the 101st Airborne Division during WWII. He doesn't talk about it much though. I think it was pretty traumatic be honest. He landed at Normandy. As a SP his job was to stand and hold. Not to dive into foxholes but to stand and hold. He make it... Thank God, or I wouldn't be here...lol Anyway, today, he was at Walmart in the plant department. Seems there was no one or hardly anyone around at all in that department. He had gone to pick up potting soil for some plants of my mothers that he was transplanting... Some 22 year old punk started hassling him for his wallet. He wouldn't give it. He said the kid pushed him and when he did my dad bent down and grabbed a handful of plant dirt. He threw it in the guys eyes and then kicked him in the nuts... Then after that my dad hit him square on the jaw and scooted back in the store... The police caught the guy...lol... Hurrah for my Dad!
